Nice amuse bouche to the novel

I preordered Manhattan Beach because of Jennifer Egan, but I still haven't started it. This little interview got me much more motivated to get reading or listening or both ASAP. Good questions and answers, and an incredible hope that her companion to Goon Squad (sans Powerpoint) comes to pass.
